Supersymmetry may provide a natural solution to the hierarchy problem if it introduces top and bottom squarks with masses not
|
| 5 |
larger than several hundred GeV. In this note we present the results of three searches for the direct pair production of top
|
| 6 |
and bottom squarks. No evidence for event yields beyond the SM expectations is observed. The results are used to place
|
| 7 |
stringent constraints on the masses of top and bottom squarks, in the mass range relevant for the natural supersymmetric
|
| 8 |
solution to the hierarchy problem.
